The water level of Nukabira Lake has been rising, and in recent days, the pillars of the Taushubetsu Bridge have begun to submerge.

In my previous post, I shared a photo taken from the same angle on this day six years ago, in 2018. Comparing the two, it’s evident that the snowmelt this year has progressed much faster, as the older photo showed Mount Nipesotsu...

It's now the season when the wind stills and reflections of the bridge can be seen in the water. However, typically after the snowmelt ends, the water level starts to drop again. Mount Nipesotsu, one of the...
